The site's revenue rose to $11.97 billion and active monthly users topped 2.2 billion. We ask Russell Brandom, senior reporter at The Verge, why Facebook doesn't appear to have suffered from the data privacy scandal. We speak to our correspondent Robin Brant from the Beijing Motor Show about how the US-China trade spat could impact BMW. Also, when it comes to philanthropy who gives money and why? Anna-Marie Harling, UBS Head of the Global Ultra High Net Worth Philanthropy Centre tells us about what the data shows. Plus, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco is holding a Beyonce Mass it says celebrates black female spirituality. The Reverend Yolanda Norton who is holding the mass explains the reason behind it.
Plus we're joined throughout the programme by Peter Morici, Professor of International Business at the University of Maryland in Washington and Andrew Peaple, Deputy Asia Finance Editor, The Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong.
